Quick Start Guide: Eating Clean for Postpartum Weight Loss

Well, if you’re serious, you’re gonna wanna keep reading, because 80% of what you need to do to start losing weight postpartum is detailed below.

Postpartum Weight Loss Guide to Eating Clean

Eat 5-6 meals a day

This sounds like a lot and even counterproductive, but if you eat less at each meal it’s totally doable.

When you’re not eating a bunch of fat and junk, and you space your meals out every 2-3 hours, your body is less likely to go into starvation mode throughout the day.

Starvation mode tells your body that you’re not getting enough nutrients, so it sends red flag signals out to store more fat for a “hungry” day.

This is why it’s never a good idea to skip meals when you’re wanting to lose weight, or ever for that matter.

This way of eating also curbs cravings, so you’re less likely to get the urge to eat the whole box of a dozen Krispy Kremes.

Eliminate sugar

Sugar is the devil!

No really, sugar is seriously a drug, and if you have kids like mine, that bounce off the walls and throw fits when they don’t get their next fix, then you know exactly what I mean.

Sugar, whether it’s refined or not, white or brown, has no nutritional value. It’s just empty calories, which has no place in a clean eating plan. EVER.

I’m not exempt from cravings every now and again, but a wise person once told me to think about what can be found in nature when the cravings sneak up on me, and reach for what my ancestors had no choice but to reach for…fruit.
